Direct mail

[Adam Amero]

Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to send out my first direct mail. I have a list of 20 vacant property owners I'd like to mail. Im planning to send out actual letters, me and my brother have bad handwriting so we're trying to type up the letters. As of now I think it looks kind of stupid, it's going to be a full sheet of paper with only a few lines telling them we're interested in buying their property and our contact information. 

Does anyone have any advice on setting out direct mails like this without using a company? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated

I actually used Microsoft Word to type out a letter with a hand writing font.   I then created the blue & black lines to mimic notebook paper. I used a mail merge to bring in the names & addresses & printed it out on canary yellow paper which I bought at staples.  I then put the letters in red invitation envelopes that I also bought at staples.  I did hand address the envelopes though.

In other words, I sort of cheated.  I would be glad to email the letter to you; so that you can cheat too, if you would like a copy.  Just let me know.
